Stadium Astro English

Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Jaden McDaniels were all ejected following a brawl just 100 seconds in

Transcript

00:00 No way Clay should have been ejected.

00:01 That was ridiculous.

00:02 - Kind of as shocked as anybody when I saw it.

00:04 - Draymond is protecting his teammate.

00:05 So it was a little bit of a shock.

00:07 [upbeat music]

00:10 - There's no way Clay Thompson

00:23 should have been thrown out of the game.

00:25 I mean, he's running up the floor

00:26 and the guy grabs his jersey and he's pulling on him

00:29 and so Clay pulls back.

00:31 So I was upset about that.

00:32 And then the Draymond piece of it,

00:35 if you watch the replay,

00:36 Rudy had his hands on Clay's neck

00:39 and that's why Draymond went after Rudy.

00:42 But it was, yeah, a bizarre way to start the game

00:45 a minute and a half in.

00:46 [upbeat music]

00:56 - The ejections rather were the right ones.

00:59 Thought they were warranted.

01:01 And I thought they did a good job

01:03 of getting control of the game from that point of view.

01:05 I mean, it became very physical,

01:06 but it wasn't like a dangerous and out of control game

01:10 from their point of view.

01:13 - Coach had told Clay before the game,

01:15 like get them off of you.

01:17 You know what I mean?

01:18 Probably not to that extent,

01:19 but it was good to see that energy and that fire.

01:22 [upbeat music]

01:25 [upbeat music]

01:27 - Just kind of put the game on edge from the jump.

01:36 And I think, you know, teams played like that

01:37 for the most of the rest of the game, really.

01:40 It felt like, like I said, super kind of chippy

01:44 and just physical and kind of not a very pretty game,

01:48 but none of them, yeah, it was good to win it.

01:50 [upbeat music]

01:53 [upbeat music]

01:56 - And I was surprised Colbert didn't walk away

02:02 with nothing after he grabbed Clay first

02:04 and Draymond was protecting his teammate.

02:06 So it was a little bit of a shock,

02:08 but you know, it is what it is.

02:09 And, you know, ref got to make the tough calls

02:13 and, you know, sucks not having those two guys

02:16 for the rest of the game, but we had to do what we had to do.

02:19 [upbeat music]
